Not Sold Description
1842 Small Date, Reverse of 1842 Half
Finest Certified at PCGS, MS65+
1842 50C Small Date, Large Letters, WB-101, MS65+ PCGS. The
1842 Small Date half dollar is significantly scarcer than its
Medium Date counterpart, and is genuinely rare in Mint State. This
example is one of only two Gems certified by PCGS and is the only
one awarded a Plus designation, with none numerically finer; NGC
has seen four MS65 coins, also with one finer (11/15). Both sides
display frosty sun-gold luster, with hints of lilac and pale
lavender also present. The strike is bold and the surface
preservation is exceptional. The reverse is extensively cracked, as
is typical of this variety, with peripheral cracks connecting
UNITED STATES OF, and radial cracks extending through the olive
leaves and along the left side of the O in DOL.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572011, Base PCGS# 6240)
Weight: 13.36 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
